Eve's Hangout was a New York City lesbian nightclub established by Polish-Jewish feminist Eva Kotchever in Greenwich Village, Lower Manhattan, in 1925.
[7] Kotchever organized concerts and readings and meetings where it was acceptable to talk about love between women, political matters, and liberal ideas.
[9] Bobby Edwards, writing for the Greenwich Village Quill, described the club as a place that was "Not very healthy for she-adolescents, nor comfortable for he-men.
[11] One of the detectives, the young Margaret Leonard, discovered the book Lesbian Love,[12] that Kotchever wrote under the pseudonym Evelyn Adams.
Kotchever was imprisoned at Jefferson Market before being deported from the United States to Europe,[13] but Greenwich Village did not forget her.
